As a nipper, I played in a band,
We would often play somewhere quite grand.
But my playing was flat,
Sounded just like a cat.
It was more than the punters could stand!
or how about:
I’m glad I was not out today,
It’s been windy and rainy all day.
The cat is asleep,
On the floor, in a heap.
In the warmth of the house he will stay
Or finally, one that is not mine, but one that I read years and years ago:
I’ve got a dog called Rover
He’s soft and he’s fluffy all over
He’s as cute as sugar babies
It’s such a pity he’s got rabies
Sorry 🙂. I hope you’re enjoying your Thursday.
Good ones! How are they called, limericks?
We have a very famous in Dutch which I will translate loosely:
I’m sitting here before the window
Can’t get the boredom out of my way
I wish I was two dogs
So together we could play.
I swear it is the most famous one and I didn’t chose it because there are dogs in the little poem!

Yes limericks, the top two. I must admit I like them because they are short and generally humourous. They are harder to write than you would think.

I know, we had such exercises in school to write limericks which was not easy at all!

Even deliberately bad poetry is good in my book!
